Programme introduction
Innovation management remains a key feature of any organisational strategy, regardless of whether it is explicitly defined or not, and increasingly, it is a skillset that is in demand in the contemporary work environment. An effective introduction of innovation requires the ability to challenge the status quo; cultivate the creative potential of the workforce; and most importantly, convert creative outputs into tangible outcomes. While some organisations do this as a matter of routine, for others it is somewhat of a black art. The reality is that innovation is a management practice that can be orchestrated methodically, hence it does not have to be a game of chances.
This short, sharp, one-day programme will introduce you to the latest concepts and practices around innovation, and give you the essential tools, techniques, and hints and tips that are crucial for starting or managing an innovation journey.
